34 Fast and Easy Fleece Gifts to Make

Last year I made some fast and easy fleece items

to make for Christmas gifts. This year I looked around to see what else I could make. Here are some fun and functional things that are quick to put together and fun also.If you don't get them done by Christmas, so what? The winter is just beginning and January is pretty cold here in Connecticut.HAVE FUN!!!

First of all, let me say I LOVE working with fleece.You don't have to worry about raveling because fleece doesn't ravel. It's a nice weight also to sew with on the sewing machine or even by hand. It's a forgiving fabric so you can make mistakes and they don't show as much as a mistake on a thinner fabric.There are scads and scads of different patterns and colors of fleece. Fun!Here are lots and lots of fun fleece projects that make great gifts also.CAPES

Here is my granddaughtermodeling the cape I made her.Mommy Savers did a tutorialon how to make a poncho. Samething. Actually, that's how I startedmine but ended up roundingthe corners off so it's morelike a cape.

This is so EASY and ifyou wait for a sale at Joann'sit's very cost effective.

In the same post I showed my socklet slippers. I've made lots and lots of these because they are so EASY to make. I know you don't believe me, but if you can use a sewing machine marginally, you can make dozens of these. I made everyone a pair one Christmas.

I found a tutorial for these on the web atThrifty Funand it is exactly how I make them. SCARVES

I made this pretty fleece scarf just by buying the fleece at Joann's, about 1/4 yard or 1/3 yard. Then just trimming it evenly.

You can make dozens of these inno time at all... wait for a 50 or even 60 % sale at Joann's and they will be having some great sales, especially black Friday. :)

Fleece Fun has so many different tutorials on making fun fleece things. Here is a tutorial on how to make this Ribbon hat.

Make it Love it shows how to make this football hat.. just in time for football season!!

MITTENS

Mossy Mossy has a pattern for these gorgeous mittens. You can use old sweaters for the outside and fleece on the inside. I have a pair of mittens I bought like this from a craft fair. I kinda hoard them.

Doodle Craft also has a complete tutorial on how to sew these quick as a bunny fleece mittens.

You have to see this to believe it. It's a whole city of little cages and boxes all set up for guinea pigs. Fleece is used to cozy them up. This girl has complete tutorials for each item. So darn CUTE!!

Fleece Fun has a washable duster. I'm making lots of these to give as gifts...
